I Am An Ocean
By Mellana Jackson

I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
Ten years of dancing
It feels like I’m floating in heaven
I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
me happy to be a fashion queen
good and proud as I can be
the best Mellana you will see
I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
passion for life and being free 
the girl who will jump and play happily
the girl who will care about you and me
Yes, I Am An Ocean
in the depths of me
You will see
there’s a lot you don’t know about me
I’m as deep as an ocean
These are a few things you might see
